Marking Ground for Planting,

An ingenious and simple method ofmark-
ing ground for planting is 20 use wheel
barrow as a marker. Nail cross-picce
against the front board to project on both
sides of the barrow. From this, at such a
want the rows apart, attach piece of chain
10 dag ON the ground Then pass back and
forth across the patch TO he marked, being
guided by the last mark made The idea OF
using wheelbarrow is that there is little
chance of its diverting sideways, and straight
rows may be easily made

A Reported Interview With Repre-
sentative Puqh

sentative Pugh.
Representative J. L. Pugh spent several
days of last week in Pittsburgh, on legal
business The Leader of that city of Friday
contained the following
Nothing has bIighted ourcounty in years
like the abandonmentofthe South Penn pro-
iect. Land had appreciated in value, bnsi-
ness had been stimulated, new schemes had
been projected. and there was a general liv-
ening up of things, all based upon the hope
of the completion of the trunk line. With
the death of the scheme came the death OF
the budding projects. Ii viii take years to
put us in as hopeful and promising a condi-
ton as we were before we were thus thrown
down There is no hope. in my judgment,
of a revival of the road. Years hence its i'm
portance will likely force itself on the rail-
road people of the East, and it will be con-
strueted."
Speaking of the political possibilities, Mr..
Pugh said am in the dark | am dele
gate to the State Republican Convention, and
am instructed for Judge Mitchell for Supreme
Judge and Captain Hart for State Treasurer.
| think as soon as he gets a report from the
Revenue Commission Governor Beaver will
reconvene the Legislature 10 act on the Rev
enue bill"
When Mr. Pugh's attention was called to
the above he indignantly repudiated the lat
ter paragraph and denied that he had 50 ex-
pressed himself As delegate to the State
Convention he is uninstructed, but says that
he is warmly for Col. Grimeson, for State
Treasurer and has always SO expressed him
self, both before and since his election as u
delegate So far as he has been able To gath
er the sentiment of the Republicans OF the
county he thinks that il is altogether for Col.
Crimson and that both he and his col
league Mr. NJ H. Hartzell win give him
their earnest support. On the Supreme
Judgeship he had not fully made up his
mind but thought from what he could learn.
the sentiment of the Republicans of the
county was favorable to Judge Williams
of Tioga county. The enterprising Leader
interviewer was evidently too full of
thoughts of the ge-lorious Fourth TO report
representative Pugh correctly.

He Saw a Panther.

The Ebensburg Herald says that William
Howell, a respectable citizen. living three
miles south of Ebensburg, on Thursday last
saw in some bushes what he at first took 10
be calf The next instant, however, il had
leaped up and taken cat-like position on a
log and then he knew what ii was Being
further startled by his presence, the animal
gave tremendous leap and disappeared in
the laurel. 1t was ofa reddish brown color,
with dark stripe running down each side
near the fore legs, and stripes around its eyes.
1t was about two feet high and five fee, long.
Mr.. Howell is perfectly responsible, and there
is no disputing his panther story.

Several persons have asked Us to call the
attention of supervisors to the necessity Of
having index boards at all proper places
along the public roads of the county 50 that
travellers are able to ascertain what road to
take in going from place to place, and the
distance People living in the country are
acquainted with the roads in their respective
localities, and index boards to them are of
very little account, hence they become indif
ferent to their necessity but it is otherwise
with strangers. Index boards 10 them are
absolutely necessary. and supervisors should
see that they are erected in proper places and
kept in order There ought, at all crossings
of railroads, be sign of caution in order to
prevent accidents. Railroads operated in
the county should have such signs of eau
ton placed most prominently at every cross
ing, and this is duty imposed on railroad
companies, and is not one of the duties of
supervisors.
